Gracie Abrams Reveals Joni Mitchell-Inspired Tattoo at the Grammy Awards

Gracie Abrams, the rising singer-songwriter, made a memorable appearance at the 2024 Grammy Awards red carpet. During an interview on the Grammy Live! from the Red Carpet, Abrams, 24, shared her adoration for singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, revealing that she has a tattoo inspired by Mitchell.

Abrams expressed her admiration for Mitchell, calling her a musical inspiration and sharing that she has Mitchell’s handwriting tattooed on her forearm. The tattoo is a tribute to Mitchell’s iconic song, ‘River,’ which is not only Abrams’ favorite track but also holds a special place in her mother’s heart as well.

Discussing her outfit for the evening, Abrams mentioned that she chose a simple yet elegant black strapless crop top and satin skirt with ruffled details, both designed by Chanel. She expressed her gratitude towards the fashion house for their support and helping her feel comfortable in her own skin.

The excitement didn’t end there as Abrams eagerly awaited the opportunity to witness Joni Mitchell perform live for the first time. Mitchell, who received the Best Folk Album Grammy for her album ‘Joni Mitchell at Newport [Live],’ gave a career-defining performance at the award show.

Gracie Abrams’ rise in the music industry has been remarkable, having opened for superstar Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour and Olivia Rodrigo on her Sour Tour. She is the daughter of renowned filmmaker J.J. Abrams, known for creating popular shows like ‘Lost‘ and ‘Alias,’ and her mother Katie, a former political aide turned co-CEO of a production company.

Abrams burst onto the music scene in 2019 with her debut single ‘Mean It‘ and followed up with the EP ‘Minor‘ in 2021. Her breakout moment came with the release of her full-length album ‘Good Riddance,’ which led to her collaboration with Taylor Swift and a nomination for the prestigious Best New Artist award at the Grammy Awards.

Gracie Abrams’ appearance at the Grammy Awards and her tattoo homage to Joni Mitchell highlight the power of female artists supporting and inspiring each other in the music industry.
